History

Like just to show how insane this was--British garrisons in Sierra Leone had a 40% annual death rate. This is *twice as bad as Dachau*; it's about the same as the first-year mortality rates of newly-arrived slaves in Haiti. Getting stationed here was basically a death sentence! https://t.co/Gm1Ie2kRId pic.twitter.com/ZxC35RzOLz
